Jason Mellor

April 8, 1974 ~ December 11, 2025

It is with saddened hearts that the family of Jason David Mellor announce his unexpected passing in Victoria, B.C. on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at the age of 51 years. Left with beautiful memories are his mother, Sharon Mellor; sister, Nikki (Fabian) Huber and their daughters, Taylor and Eastynn as well as numerous aunties, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his father, David Mellor as well as his grandparents, Samuel Mellor, Sarah Mellor, Alex Chisholm and Kathleen (Nikki) Chisholm. Jason lived a vibrant, expressive life filled with love, creativity and connection. He spent most of his life in Medicine Hat, Calgary and also embraced time living abroad in Birmingham, England—each place shaping the free spirit he so naturally embodied. Jason attended St. Michael’s and St. Thomas Elementary School, then St. Mary’s Junior High before finishing at McCoy High School. He then pursued his post-secondary education at Marvel Beauty School. Hairdressing was more than a career for Jason; it was an art form. He spent the majority of his working years as a hairstylist, expressing his love of fashion and creativity and proudly entered numerous hair competitions earning admiration for his talent and bold style. Above all else, Jason was the epitome of a mama’s boy. His love for his family was unwavering and he often said that his nieces were his greatest inspiration. Family meant everything to Jason and nowhere was that more evident than during Christmas, especially the cherished Chisholm Christmases which held a special place in his heart. Jason was a free spirit in every sense: the centre of attention, full of life, generous to his core and always ready to uplift others. His adventurous nature took him travelling across Canada, England and beyond, including memorable journeys to China, Thailand, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco. No matter where he went, Jason left an impression—often dancing through life with joy, confidence and authenticity. His light, laughter and spirit will be dearly missed and forever cherished by all who knew and loved him. “Nothing lasts forever, so live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the BS, take chances and never have regrets, because at one point, everything you did was exactly what you wanted.” A Celebration of Jason’s life will be held at Reflections, 937 – 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Friday, January 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. (Condolences may be expressed by visiting our website at www.cooksouthland.com) Memorial donations in Jason’s name may be made directly to Medicine Hat Adaptive Sports & Recreation, 321 – 3271 Dunmore Road S.E., Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1B 3R2.
